Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.

One thing that doesn't get said enough on MLK day
It is not just outrageous, but grotesque, that the FBI headquarters is still named for J. Edgar Hoover. The gay-hating homosexual racist far right blackmailer who, among other crimes against the people of the United States, tried to extort Martin Luther King into committing suicide. Read this and barf.
Members of Congress have tried to get legislation passed to take Hoover's name off the building, but it never goes anywhere. It seems he is still very popular with one of the two major political parties.
